To preserve
and develop
traditional craft villages, in recent years, the
Lao Cai culture, sports and tourism sector has ceaselessly
put their efforts in conservation and development of the
traditional craft villages. In 2008, Forging industry in Ban Pho village was preserved. In the framework of the project
"Investment for preservation of traditional Hmong village"
in
Cat Cat village, San Sa Ho commune (SaPa), Department of
Culture - Sports and Tourism has conducted preservation of 4
traditional craftsmanships: brocade weaving, silver carving,
blacksmithing, carpentry, weaving rattan - bamboo - straw
bring about economic and social efficiency for the
development of provincial tourism...
 Along with conservation of craft villages and traditional
handicrafts, promoting strong point of craftmanship with
long-term development strategy is the determining factor in
the survival and development of the industry. Currently, the
province has formed the clear models of traditional
villages. Cat Cat village has gradually built its brand with
the forging and casting products, textiles of linens of
Hmong people. The famous alcohol villages have found their
stands in the market such as Pho village corn wine (Bac Ha),
Shanlung, Xeo village wine (in Bat Xat commune).
The villages in the province have been associated with
tourism spots and promote tourism development in the
community, improve living standards of many families through
their home business, selling handicrafts, brocade
products... Community base travel has also made positive
impacts on labour distribution. In the past, in the
villages
in Sa Pa, people mostly make their living in agriculture,
forestry, there have been many households getting involved
in tourism activities of the village. With the aim of
preserving and developing traditional village linked to
tourism development, most of the village has created its own
definition for tourists to learn and explore. In particular,
brocade weaving is dominant, serving the needs of families
and tourists. Only in SaPa district has 11 embroidery and
weaving villages in
Ta Phin village, San Sa Ho village with
about 1000 households participating and a number of groups
from the district women society, put on the market each year
more than 30.000 metres of fabric. Other districts link Van
Ban,
Bac Ha have also formed several embroidery villages,
attracting thousands of workers. Mr. Tran Huu Son, Director
of the Department of Culture - Sports and Tourism said:
Promotion of village tourism development must be associated
with the production of tourism and trade promotion, branding
and registration of copyright for craft villages' products.
When the villages have built their names on the products it
would be easier to preserve, conserve and promote the craft
villages, especially to solve a large number of local
workers, contributing to raising labor income in rural
areas. This is also a condition to meet criteria for
restructuring labor in the process of building new
countryside today. |
